This is a School Board agenda item from the Volusia County School Board in Florida for a committee ranking and recommendation for architectural selection of a 20 classroom addition project at Pine Ridge High School. The project involves selecting an architectural firm through a competitive negotiation process pursuant to Florida Statute 287.055, with a total project budget of $700,000.00. On January 28, 2025, architectural firms submitted qualifications, with interviews conducted on March 5, 2025, and the top three ranked firms identified as Zyscovich LLC, Harvard Jolly Inc., and Song & Associates Inc. The superintendent recommends approving the Selection Committee's rankings and authorizing staff to negotiate a contract with Zyscovich LLC, the top-ranked firm.

The project will be funded through the Local Capital Improvement Fund (LCIF) Project No. 48150, with an estimated total construction cost of $21,000,000.00. The architectural services will encompass comprehensive design services including campus planning, landscape architecture, civil engineering, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, irrigation, plumbing engineering, construction administration, estimating, and interior design. The anticipated scope includes a one-story, masonry construction, twenty-classroom building with associated restrooms, storage rooms, mechanical room, and site work. The project aligns with the school district's goals of communication, community engagement, and managing resources and operational processes.
